| Expression pattern: |
UP |
| Associated gene: |
HOXB7, Ago2 |
| Associated microRNA: |
miR-1236-3p |
| Biological function: |
Promotes proliferation and invasion; inhibits apoptosis in CSCC cells; promotes tumor growth in vivo. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Acts as a ceRNA/miRNA sponge to competitively bind miR-1236-3p and thereby upregulate HOXB7 expression. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
proliferation (promotes); invasion (promotes); apoptosis (inhibits); ceRNA regulation (promotes) |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
RT-qPCR; RNase R Treatment; Sanger Sequencing; Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Fractionation; RIP (RNA Immunoprecipitation); Luciferase Reporter Assay; Transfection; CCK8; EdU Staining; Transwell Assay; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; In Vivo Animal Model; TUNEL; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |

| Description: |
hsa_circ_0070934 (circ-0070934) is up-regulated in CSCC cell lines and promotes proliferation and invasion while inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, it functions as a ceRNA that sponges miR-1236-3p to upregulate HOXB7, enhancing CSCC tumor growth in a xenograft model. |
